Installing Ribbon Cartridge
Note: IBM recommends that you use the IBM ribbon cartridge (part number

Lexmark at 1-800-438-2468.
To install the ribbon cartridge, follow these steps:
1. Remove the ribbon cartridge from the package. Locate the ribbon guide, snap
arm, ribbon advance knob, and the ribbon mounting pins.
2. Turn the ribbon advance knob in the direction of the arrow to take up any slack
in the ribbon. If the ribbon does not move, contact your place of purchase to
replace the ribbon cartridge.
3. Ensure the printer is powered off (O).
